August is going down as the 10th straight month with above-normal temperatures in Maine's largest city.

The National Weather Service says August's mean temperature in Portland was 69.3 degrees – 2.1 degrees above normal.

The warm August allowed Portland to tie 1988 as the warmest meteorological summer on record. For the three-month stretch from June through August, the city had an average temperature of 68.7 degrees.

That followed the warmest meteorological spring on record.

1. Yup. We had a really warm winter, spring and summer in Ontario too.

2. Spring was month early this year in Maine

Most lakes recorded their earlier ice-out on record - so early that the governor issued an emergency proclamation to open fishing season early (salmon fishing is the best right after ice-out).

Maple sugar season was 3 weeks early and very short.

The apples and pumpkins are a month early too.

3. Yup. Spring was a month early in Ontario. Plus the lakes were low. I think the mid atlantic of the

USA got all of our snow and rain with all the floods there.
